Chapter 1517 - 1502: Good Brothers

Although he relaxed control over himself, Lin Chuan still couldn't break free; if he wanted to escape, it would take considerable effort.

"Lin Chuan, I won't deal with you first. I'll let you witness your brothers dying right in front of you, so you can experience what that pain feels like!" At this moment, Qin Zhengxiong maintained a smile, so sinister, and although it's not a reckless gamble, Qin Zhengxiong wanted to ensure there were no obstacles for himself. To defeat a person, one must first crush their spirit, which was Qin Zhengxiong's usual approach. Only when Lin Chuan completely collapses can Qin Zhengxiong smoothly proceed with his plan!

Lin Chuan noticed Qin Zhengxiong's speed in condensing air was slowing down, indicating only one thing: this move was about to succeed.

No! No! Lin Chuan's face was pale from the excessive blood loss, yet he persisted in charging toward his brothers' direction!

The layers of air entangled Lin Chuan like water, continuously winding around him. The strong resistance caused Lin Chuan to lose footing several times, unable to gather any force, while Qin Zhengxiong slowly rose into the air, ascending without leverage.

"Is this? True power!" Qin Zhengxiong gazed at himself in surprise; despite the heaviness in his hands, his body stood suspended. Never before had he felt so fulfilled, as if he were the master of this world.

The air sphere in Qin Zhengxiong's hand was no longer an earlier threat; it turned white.

"How does it feel? Isn't it terrifying?" Qin Zhengxiong remarked to Lin Chuan, who was watching him, seemingly trying to strike Lin Chuan down. Now, Qin Zhengxiong needed hardly any effort to control this massive sphere, its innate savage power had surpassed gravitational constraints, becoming more nimble.

"Things are not so simple; now comes the truly heartbreaking moment for you!" Qin Zhengxiong's smile was insidious, and his gaze fixed on the three not far away, Hema.

"Boss, did you hear?" Xiao Han shouted, catching Lin Chuan's attention.

"What do you want to say?" Lin Chuan asked Xiao Han in confusion, at this moment akin to a parting of life and death. Although it's not necessarily certain death, nobody had a way to break free right now.

"Team leader, you should think of a way to escape now! His target is you; as long as he can't achieve his goal, our deaths would be worthwhile. If we die and you get captured too, that would be the real defeat. If it comes to that when we meet underground, don't blame me for not recognizing you as the leader!" Xiao Han said, then burst out laughing before anyone else could, like they usually did during chats, laughing loudly.

"Haha, you brat! I just want to know one thing, tell me honestly. If you tell me, I'll let you die at ease!" Lin Chuan paused, shouted loudly: "Does your wife know you came here to find me?"

"Don't worry! We didn't tell anyone about this, just said we were out on a mission!" Hema replied: "I know you absolutely don't want to worry our wives, so we didn't say anything!"

"Truly my brothers, you can die now!" Lin Chuan closed his eyes, seemingly making a harsh decision. Turning in another direction, Lin Chuan felt Xiao Han's thoughts were much better than his own; after all, avenging himself would be more worthwhile than joining them! Lin Chuan diligently controlled his logic and thoughts.

"Haha, since it's like this, without worries, it's a perfect time to kill you. When reincarnating, remember not to let someone like Lin Chuan become your leader!" Qin Zhengxiong said.

With a downward swipe of his palm, the sphere from above lost control, heading toward Hema's position.

Lin Chuan heard various shredding sounds in his ears, the tearing of air. Time seemed frozen, even the sound became slow. The only thing operating rapidly was Lin Chuan's heart.

"Can I abandon the three of Hema?" Lin Chuan asked himself introspectively. Initially, Lin Chuan came here in anger to avenge his brothers, so now, can he stand by as others harm them again without revenge fulfilled? Lin Chuan couldn't understand his own mindset at that moment; clearly, he didn't want to abandon them, yet he made that harsh decision!

Hema wouldn't die, Xiao Han and Song Hui wouldn't either! If truly one must die, then let it be Lin Chuan himself! Lin Chuan resolutely dashed backward. His speed was so fast even Qin Zhengxiong, who was constantly observing Lin Chuan, couldn't react in time. Lin Chuan was his final trump card, Qin Zhengxiong couldn't allow Lin Chuan to die.

"No!" Xiao Han shouted, but Lin Chuan couldn't afford distractions, giving Hema a brief smile, clear in meaning: Either I die, or we all die together!

Qin Zhengxiong exerted all his might around Lin Chuan, combining all his strength, yet couldn't hinder Lin Chuan. That previous strike, especially at the moment of action, had extracted all his power, now he couldn't control anything, even his body suspended in air was about to plummet.

"Qin Zhengxiong!" Qin Fang was very conflicted inside, torn between saving Qin Zhengxiong or Lin Chuan? Ultimately, Qin Fang made her most significant decision: saving Qin Zhengxiong, abandoning Lin Chuan!

Seeing the scene of Qin Fang running towards him, Qin Zhengxiong suddenly felt that what he had just done was worth it, even though he ultimately failed!

The restraints on Lin Chuan disappeared entirely, increasing his speed several times. Now Lin Chuan's speed was astonishing, directly comparable to sound.

Before the glowing sphere reached Hema and the others, Lin Chuan suddenly blocked its path.

Hema and the others could only see a red glow appearing around Lin Chuan, growing dimmer and dimmer. They couldn't see Lin Chuan himself because he had been engulfed by the glowing sphere.

Inside the glowing sphere, Lin Chuan felt the surrounding pressure instantly robbing him of his ability to breathe, move, or even think.

Clearly inside the white sphere, Lin Chuan faced an endless darkness with no light at all. "Where is this?" Lin Chuan asked in confusion, although he couldn't speak, his voice seemed to echo within this space.

There was no sensation; the pain of cold and heat was too distant from Lin Chuan. The feelings of sweetness and happiness made him immensely nostalgic. This was a special space, sealing the most powerful force. Although it was just one of those forces, it was not to be underestimated.

"Do you want to survive?" Lin Chuan suddenly heard this voice, seemingly whispering in his ear yet also from far away.

Without hesitation, Lin Chuan replied, "I want to!"

"I possess the most powerful force. Do you want to have it?" The voice seemed to gradually guide Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan willingly accepted this guidance, saying, "I want to have it!"

"You are the first person to accept my power! However, I can only grant you the power to break free. I feel you are not truly yourself. This power will allow you to escape your current predicament, but to survive, you still need to rely on your own efforts!" A gigantic eye suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chuan, and besides the eye, Lin Chuan could see nothing else.

Just the gaze gave Lin Chuan a sense of death; he had never been so close to death before, not even when he was seriously injured in the past.

Before Hema and the others could mourn, a red glow radiated from Lin Chuan, dazzling and beautiful like the late sunset.

This glow shone from Lin Chuan's body, causing significant turbulence within the glowing sphere. The utterly chaotic force couldn't maintain the sphere shape and exploded violently five to six meters in the air before touching the ground.

Hema and the others were swept up by this force, flying dozens of meters before finally coming to a halt.

On the other side, it was the same. Qin Zhengxiong had no power left. To protect Qin Zhengxiong, Qin Fang controlled the plants around her, causing them to grow wildly. Within moments, they formed a shield in front of herself and Qin Zhengxiong.

Qin Zhengxiong never expected to end up being protected by a woman. To him, this was an utter humiliation, but he couldn't say anything because, without Qin Fang, he would likely have been seriously injured by now.

What is this? Qin Zhengxiong looked at Lin Chuan in confusion, roughly guessing the situation in his mind, never expecting that he unintentionally triggered it.

Is this how it ends for me? Qin Zhengxiong was unwilling because he still had unfulfilled desires!

Lin Chuan fell directly from the air, crashing hard onto the ground. Falling from a height of four to five meters wouldn't necessarily kill him, but it would certainly cause pain.

Qin Zhengxiong had tortured Lin Chuan into this state in just a short time, and he had to pay the price. Lin Chuan was no saint; he had no reason to let someone who posed a great threat to him remain in this world. Moreover, the situation between the two was a matter of life and death. Lin Chuan survived this time, but what about next time? Regardless, in Lin Chuan's eyes, Qin Zhengxiong must die!

Lin Chuan checked himself and found that all his wounds had healed under the strange power. Initially rough wounds were now replaced by smooth white skin, in stark contrast with the darker skin around it. Not only that, Lin Chuan's True Qi had fully recovered, with the restless red True Qi now calmly lying within him.

This time, Lin Chuan wouldn't make a foolish mistake. The red True Qi was terrifying, and now Lin Chuan truly understood it. Like a leech, before biting, it first releases a toxin that numbs your nerves, and the red True Qi does the same, making you forget all self-awareness, leaving only the strongest desire in your mind, while everything else is excluded.
